He Courted With Bible; She TemptedWith Fruit LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Feb 13, "Never marrv a man who courts you with a Bible"," said Mrs. Elizabeth K. Cheesman in the superior court, yesterday, when she was testifying before Judge Vinton in her suit for divorce from William V. Cheesman. "You tempted me with your canned fruit. I fell for It like Adam fell for the apple," replied Cheesman. The court granted a divorce. "I was warned by my friends, Bald Mrs. Cheesman, "to beware of a suitor who carried a Bible. Now I know they were right. Mr. Cheesman never came to see me without bringing a Bible, and he used to quote continually from the Scriptures. We got married and things ran smoothly until my husband Induced me to transfer the property I owned to Joint ownership. Then he seemed to change completely. He treated me very cruelly." Cheesman denied the allegation, and told the court that he married the plaintiff because she tempted him with nn array of canned fruit she showed to him. "Eve tempted Adam with fruit," he said, "and that's how she tempted me."

OBTAIN 50 PER GENT OF SHIP WORKERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 More than half of the great number of shipyard workers needed to carry out the country's merchant marine program have been secured in the first half of the first week of the nation wide enrollment campaign by the United States public service reserve. This is shown by incomplete returns to William Hall, director of the reserve. The national drive will be continued another week, however, and thereafter in every state whose quota Is not filled at the end of the campaign. Mr. Hall pointed out today that to get suitable men is more important than speed in attaining the quota. He emphasized the fact that men are not expected to leave their present Jobs until htey are called upon by the labor department for shipbuilding serv

ice. Much hardship results, he said, from the impression that the men are needed at the yards immediately.
